The comparative value of pleural fluid adenosine deaminase and neopterin levels in diagnostic utility of pleural tuberculosis

Chest radiograph revealed bilateral pleural fluid and cardiomegaly, and a well-defined, smooth surface mass suggesting localized intralober pleural fluid (Figure 1)..

Comparing serum and ple- ural fluid pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels with pleural-to-serum albumin gradient for the identification of cardiac effusions misclassified

There are many studies showing usefulness of bronchoscopy in patients with suspected PTbc with negative sputum smear, but there is no eno- ugh data concerning that in which cases

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) in dif- ferentiating between diffuse malignant and

In our study, pleural fluid culture positivity was detected in two patients, one in each group, while bacterial growth was seen in the blood cultures of 4 (0.13%) of 32 patients,

In this study, it was determined that the postoperative pulmonary function test results improved significantly in patients who underwent decortication surgery due to
